Garissa Fraudster Arrested in Sh12M Fake Land Scam
Kilimani detectives have arrested 44-year-old Abdi Yusuf Mohamed for allegedly defrauding a Kenyan woman of Sh12 million in a fake land sale scheme in Garissa Municipality.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Yusuf lured the victim with promises of selling her a prime plot, collecting payments in installments through his personal bank account from June 29 to November 21, 2023.
However, investigations uncovered that the land is registered to another individual, with the rightful owner holding the title since its original government allocation, as confirmed by the Garissa lands registry’s green card.
The DCI further revealed that documents Yusuf provided to claim ownership were fraudulent. After tracking him to a hideout in Eastleigh, detectives apprehended him, and he is now in custody at Kilimani Police Station, awaiting a court appearance.
The DCI has urged the public to exercise caution in land transactions, emphasizing the need to verify ownership and document authenticity to avoid falling prey to such scams.
